Wrong. My freedom of religion and my freedom of speech mean that I can express my opinion and show as much contempt for beliefs I do not accept as I want. You are not entitled to my respect in any way whatsoever.

And how has my refusal to grant respect as a matter of course been disrespectful? What specific act of disrespect have I engaged in by insisting that you have no automatic right to my respect?

How so? If I say your faith is wrong, that it is false, do you not think I am being disrespectful of your faith?

Why don’t you quit quoting Bible verses out of context so you won’t look so foolish? I Corinthians 10:31-32 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: You...

What has this to do with accepting other religious beliefs? And note that Christians are to accept such an invitation only as a means to propagate the Gospel. Matthew 9:9-13 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith...

Once again a liberal shows his utter ignorance of what Christianity is. Romans 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God.

I cannot hold true to my own faith if I accept the validity of any other faith. Matthew 10:33-38 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am...

Just what makes you think your faith is entitled to my respect? Adherence to my own faith requires me to inform you that you are a sinner and come short of the Glory of God (Romans 3:23). Furthermore, since you seem to have an erroneous concept of what Christianity is, I must further inform...

Just what makes you think you are entitled to my respect?

What liberal has ever respected Christianity? Give specific examples. And just what respect is there when public school children have to celebrate Winter Holiday instead of Christmas? As always and like all libs, you are delusional.

On the contrary. You have no power to compel me to respect your belief or anything else that is yours. My respect has to be earned; it is not something I give.

Then give me YOUR definition of liberal so I can judge whether or not the definition I accept is valid. How do you know where I get my definition of Christianity from? In typical liberal fashion you have taken it upon yourself to put words in my mouth because you cannot bring yourself to...

This is not what I said. There is no commandment in the Bible that Christians be communist or that they hold property in common. Some early Christians did have communal property; other Christians did not. You cannot legitimately say that the church, i.e., the entire group of Christians, was...

Why, has your post become any more accurate since you made it? The ARIS study did not have any standard categories into which people were classified. Two people who have opposing beliefs cannot both be Christian simply because they both claim to be Christian.

When it comes to libs, there is one thing you can count on- they will believe anything and everything, but the truth. http://www.gc.cuny.edu/faculty/research_briefs/aris/coverage.htm “One of the distinguishing features of this survey, as of its predecessor in 1990, is that respondents...

Prove it. It is true that some Christians held communal property during the first few decades after the Resurrection. But, this did not include every Christian. Furthermore the property was held communally to make the propagation of the Gospel easier- it was a period of intense missionary...

Is this really what was said? You can be a conservative and not be a Christian (a conservative Jew, for instance). But you cannot be a Christian if you are not a conservative.

I said your definition. Did you write the Wikipedia article? In practical terms a liberal 1. Supports a social welfare state, i.e., tax payer funded charity. 2. Is generally pacifist even in the face of undeniable and unprovoked aggression. 3. Is given to licentious behavior on their own...

Meaning Congress cannot legally bar religious activities in public places, nor prevent a public official or government employee from exercising his religion in conjunction with his public duties.

You mean like all of those conservative judges Republicans have put on the court during my lifetime? I’ve been hearing the “one more conservative on the Court” mantra since 1981. For all of their talk that they cannot legislate against abortion until the Court overturns Roe v. Wade the...
